Sunday Mass: 9:00 am

Act Of Contrition

O my God,I am heartily sorry for having offended you,and I detest all my sins,becuase I dread the loss of heaven,and the pains of hell,but most of all because they offend You, my God,who are all-good and deserving of all my love,I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,to confess my sins, to do penance,and to amend my life.Amen.

Saint Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

Beattitudes

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up the mountain, and after He had sat down, His disciples came to Him. He began to teach them, saying:

"Blessed are the poor in Spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are they who mourn,for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek,for they shall inherit the land.Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be satisfied.Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.Blessed are the clean of heart,for they shall see God.Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God.Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven."

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord make me an instrument of Your peace,Where there is hatred, let me sow love,where there is injury, pardon,where there is doubt, faith,where there is despair, hope,where there is darkness, light,and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master grant that I,may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console,to be understood as to understand,to be loved as to love,for it is in giving that we receive,it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Our Mother Mary's Messages from Medjurorje

Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it. Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world; and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so. I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. In this way, you will be open to God and to His plans.
